New Mini Owner In Alabama
Hello all!

I just purchased a 2002 Cooper S, Chili Red with White top.

Anyone got a source for the rear wiper blade other than the dealer? Or making one yourself from a "parts store" stock one?

Thanks
Craig

Though a little pricey, Moss Mini and MiniCarParts.net are two online sources for the OEM replacements.
